A black button nail stepped on the sole of my shoe. After I told Mao Xiaoli about it, she reacted so strongly. It seemed that she was really in trouble.
The situation in Chi County was already chaotic enough, and now the Zheng army has disappeared. What is going on
The crematorium seems to be a peaceful place, with nothing to be seen from the outside, but in fact, things inside are quite chaotic.
I remember that when I was young, I lived with my father and grandfather for a few days, and then I was taken away by my mother. Those were my happy days. I vaguely remember that when I was with my mother, she always had a cold face. To me, it seemed that she would always be like this.
I sat at home, and the cold and lonely atmosphere in the house seemed like it would never go away. It just stayed like that.
It seemed like my mother was hiding a secret from me, but she would never tell me.
The next day, Zheng Jun still didn't disappear. I kept calling her. Mao Xiaoli told me to go there in the morning. I went there early, and she was still in the same mess as last time. She had never been like this before.
"Sit down, I'll clean up."
Mao Xiaoli simply packed up her things and came out.
"That black push-on nail is a way to kill."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm afraid Zheng Jun and Zhang Xiaoxue are involved. I don't know what's going on here, but Zheng Jun is in big trouble this time. The black pushpin is a killing nail. There are thirteen such pushpins on a certain door in the crematorium. One of the doors is the door leading to the killing road. If you go in, it's a killing road, killing the living, the yin, and the yang. It's a very dangerous road, so it's unlikely that Zheng Jun is alive."
"Why is this happening?"
"I'm afraid someone did something. The black nails in the crematorium are made of bone, or bone nails. The black color is chosen because of black bones. When a person is sick, takes too many medicines, or is injured somewhere, the bones will turn black. Of course, there are also green ones. They are used to create a killing path, but these thirteen bone nails alone are not enough to create a killing path. You still have to find the door to the killing path, which requires a certain ability. At least I don't have it in the crematorium, and I have only heard of it."
When I heard this, I was like, this is over. How did this have to do with Zhang Xiaoxue again? Everything seemed so confusing.
“Am I going to find that door?”
"It's no use finding it. You can't get in. If you get in, you'll still be killed. You can't save Zheng Jun even if you get in."
I asked Mao Xiaoli if there was any solution, she shook her head and said that there was really no solution this time and let me figure it out myself.
I went home and was sitting on the sofa in a daze when someone knocked on the door. When I opened it, it was Yan Fei, the shaman, standing outside. This surprised me so much. I let him in and made some tea.
"I suppose you haven't eaten either?"
I nodded, then made a phone call and asked the restaurant downstairs to send up the wine and food. While we were eating and drinking, Yan Fei said.
"I can help you, but I have a condition, and I can't tell you this condition first. I can only tell you this condition after the matter is done. If you agree, I will help you, Zhang Xiaoxue, Zheng Jun."
"What conditions?"
"I told you, I can only tell you after you're done and have met Zhang Xiaoxue and Zheng Jun."
"this… "
I'm not afraid that this weird wizard will take my life. I'm afraid that I can't meet the conditions, or that it's the thing I least want to do.
"You can do it. Of course you will be reluctant to give it up. That's all I can say. I'll think about it. Of course, it can't take too long. Zheng's army is on the killing path. It can't take too long. If it takes too long, I won't be able to find it."
It seems that the wizard knows all this. Why did he avoid Mao Xiaoli and come to me? He seems to be avoiding something and doesn't want to see Mao Xiaoli.
That day I agreed to the wizard's conditions. When he left, he told me that he would wait for me at the crematorium in Chi County tomorrow. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and said.
"I gave those two fox scarves to Zhang Xiaoxue and Yinyan."
After saying that, he smiled strangely and left. I was stunned. What is the relationship between Yan Fei, Yin Yan and Zhang Xiaoxue? I couldn't figure it out. Maybe there is a relationship. After all, Zhang Xiaoxue and Yin Yan lived in Chi County, and they were known as the three beauties of Chi County together with Shen Qing. Three flowers, one family's daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. Maybe Yan Fei also pursued them. Love knows no age or nationality.
I don’t know what will happen in the future or how things will turn out, but I feel like these things are going to be troublesome.
The next day I went to the crematorium in Chixian. Yan Fei was already standing in a corner waiting for me. He looked like a ghost and was a bit scary.
I walked over and when I was almost next to him, he was walking in front, turning around the office building of the Chixian Crematorium and going to the back. There was a paved path at the back. It was not wide, but it could only accommodate one person. The path seemed to lead to the back mountain and went up from a small hill. I followed him, and Yan Fei kept a certain distance, as if he had eyes behind him. When I wanted to catch up with him, he would walk faster, and when I slowed down, he also slowed down, a weird wizard.
After passing the hill, I was stunned. There was a cylindrical building there, high up in the clouds, colorful, with countless small holes on it. The holes were scary to look at. There were countless small holes, all pitch black. I didn't know what was inside.
Yan Fei stopped and said, "Let me go over."
"The road we are walking on is called Yin Road. It was created by a Feng Shui master, and the effect is not very good. Of course, this was not originally meant to be. This is a columbarium, a 23-story building. It used to hold ashes, thousands of ashes, just like a cemetery. But something happened more than ten years ago, and the ashes were moved away, and this place became empty. Of course, there are still some ownerless urns here. There are ghosts singing here at night, so basically no one comes here, and this road has gradually become a Yin Road. Sometimes brave people take a day to walk on a road that is obviously only 10 or 8 minutes long. Is this true or false? I have never been here, but it is true that no one comes here. It cannot be said that no one comes. There is a tower keeper here who beats snow every day. If weeds grow on this Yin Road, he will remove them, otherwise the road will be covered with weeds."
"What is this abandoned tower guarding?"
"He was here before this place was abandoned. After it was abandoned, he insisted on staying here. He stayed here until he retired. He still didn't leave here. He lived here alone."
I will never figure out who would call such a weird place home.
The old man appeared with one limping leg and walked to within a few meters of us. He smiled, and this smile almost scared me to death. It was too scary. There was no one who was so ugly.
"Old Yan, ha ha ha..."
I shuddered again. Oh my god, that voice was actually a ghost voice. It was so unpleasant that Yan Fei frowned.
"Old Liu, shut your mouth."
Old Liu took us away and actually took us into the columbarium. There was a door there. After entering, it turned out to be Old Liu's home. It was very clean and had everything in it. There were small holes everywhere to let in light, so it was not dark. I think if it were me, I would never dare to live here, as there had been urns here for thousands of years.
Old Liu served the wine and food.
"Who is this little brother?"
"Ke Zuo's son, Ke Mingzhe."
"My son, the old Ketou, looks a bit like him, not bad, not bad, he also served the dead?"
"I was a refiner, and now I'm a makeup artist."
"Not bad, not bad. This is a good profession and it can rank well in the world."
I have no idea what this has to do with me.
"Old Liu, do you know what happened in the field?"
"There is nothing I don't know. If you want me to do something for you, the conditions must be met, otherwise it will be impossible. Don't lie to me again today, you old immortal wizard."
It seems that the relationship between Old Liu and Yan Fei is not ordinary. They can talk to each other like this, which shows that they have quite a lot of interactions.
"Of course. What do you think about the stone corpse?"
"That has a lot to do with everything. Those three foxes are not to be trifled with. They are thousand-year-old fire foxes. They look like fire. I've seen them before, running and jumping around here, like flames. They would come into my room and steal food. I never chased them away, but I never thought someone would be so bold as to kill them. What a pity."
"What kind of relationships exist here?"
After Yan Fei finished speaking, he looked at me, as if he didn't want to say it to me.
"Everything was caused by the fox. You gave the fox skin to Yinyan and Zhang Xiaoxue. Yinyan's death is another matter. Zhang Xiaoxue disappeared on the No. 8 operating table. You thought it was a ghost hole, a ghost hole like a wormhole, but it is not. It is a fox illusion. After the thousand-year-old fire fox is killed, there will be another fox illusion for at least twenty years, just like the ghost after the death of a person."
I didn't expect that this ugly-looking old Liu actually knew everything.
"What else?"
"That person's body was petrified, which is normal. It's all related to the fire fox. The only way now is to find three fire fox skins and return a thousand-year-old body. Everything will be solved. This is not a big problem."
Yan Fei thought for a long time and said.
"But… "
"If you can't find it, there's nothing I can do. Of course, I've called you. Come back to me when you find it. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do."
Old Liu can make a sound when he drinks, and with rhythm. I almost pee my pants. As soon as he makes a sound, I have to pee.
"I'm going to be out for a while."
I went out and looked at the place. It was really a nice place, a nest, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It was a good place for Feng Shui.
Half an hour later, I went in again and the two were still drinking, Yan Fei said.
"Go to that person's house and take the fox skin off the wall."
I hesitated for a moment, worried that they wouldn't give it to me.
I went there and called Shen Qing, and we got it. The family also thought that the fox had brought disaster and didn't want to keep it. The fire fox fur was really good, as red as fire, and touching it felt like touching the skin of a three-year-old child.
"Actually, this was originally mine, but I didn't take it, so I escaped this disaster."
Shen Qing actually said this, which means that she knew there would be a disaster. Yin Yan took it, and Zhang Xiaoxue also wanted it. Indeed, no matter who gets this thing and doesn't want it, they will feel very uncomfortable.
I went back with the fire fox skin and they were still drinking.
"There are two more. Go to Yinyan's house and Zhang Xiaoxue's house. No matter what, you must find the other two."
I had no idea they had this thing because I was very familiar with them and they never mentioned it, which was really strange, maybe they didn't intend to tell me.
I started looking for the Firefox skin, but couldn't find it. Mao Xiaoli called me when she found out about this.
"It's not difficult for you to find that thing. Even though it's dead, it still has a fox illusion that will last for 20 years. Come here."
Mao Xiaoli suddenly said this, it seems that she is not unaware of what is going on here, but seems to be avoiding something. (To be continued)
